Preparation and evaluation of advanced electrocatalysts for phosphoric acid fuel cellsAlloy electrocatalysts on carbon supports were developed for hydrogen oxidation in the presence of carbon monoxide. These electrocatalysts match the best platinum on carbon catalysts for performance yet cost half as much. The results demonstrate that a significant reduction in anode electrocatalyst material cost can be achieved by replacing the platinum. Since surface characterization of this catalyst is important to explain its performance, several approaches and pitfalls to the elucidation of the surface characterization are presented.
